A 12-year-old girl in Tennessee has been charged with murder, accused of smothering her 8-year-old cousin as the younger girl slept. A relative said they had been arguing over an iPhone.

A security camera recorded the killing, inside the bedroom they shared on July 15 in Humboldt, Tennessee, the county prosecutor said.

The recording shows the older child using bedding to suffocate her cousin as the younger girl slept in the top bunk, Gibson District Attorney Frederick Agee’s statement said. After the child died, “the juvenile cleaned up the victim and repositioned her body,” Agee said.

A relative told WREG-TV in Memphis that the girls had been arguing over an iPhone after coming from out of town to stay with their grandmother.

    I wonder if say a country with some less scrupulous agencies with names like “NSA” and “CIA” and “FBI” could pay or force amazon to also key in at trigger words like “bomb” or “protest,” or even just in an effort to get the ads that much closer to inside our brains Chevy pays them to key on “Truck” and “Ford” to attempt to sway customers who discuss it.

    Who knows if the trigger words you know are the only trigger words, there’s no reason it would need to alert you, it could do it quietly in the background.
